About the programme
Working in shifts in Customer Service at Heathrow, you’ll take on duties across the team – from Check in and Connections to Arrivals and Premium areas. Your helpful, welcoming personality will equip you to meet, greet, deal with queries and be a true ambassador for our brand. The work will give you a great insight into the whole customer journey. We can promise that most days will be anything but ‘every day’, especially with so many different customers to meet and colleagues to support.
With thousands of customers coming through Heathrow each day, life will be fast-paced and tough at times. But with your natural adaptability, and passion for customer service, you’ll rise to the challenge and build the foundations of a British Airways career.
To get you off to the best possible start, we’ll make sure you’re up to speed with full training. Then you’ll be in the highly-experienced hands of our welcoming, friendly team. If that wasn’t enough, we’ll also support you as you work towards an Intermediate Apprenticeship (level 2) as Aviation Ground Operative.
